Summary

Over the past nine years I have taken on many roles in my esports career. I began as a competitor, soon after I became a caster and tournament organizer, and overtime I learned all of the intricacies of the media production and event coordination that go into making esports events happen. Once I started to see others had a stronger desire to compete and to win than I did, I transitioned into coaching which has been extremely fulfilling to help others reach their own competitive goals.
